A visitor to the Western Cape has posted some sad and shocking photos and a video of Theewaterskloof Dam, Cape Town’s main source of drinking water… which show sand blowing where water should be flowing.

In a message on Facebook, Christopher from Pretoria, says:

“PRAY FOR CAPE TOWN people!… NO JOKES ????… This is what’s left of the Theewaterskloof Dam, the [main drinking] water source for the entire Cape Town!! …?? There is near to NOTHING left of the dam’s water… It’s literally like a barren desert!!??

“In the photos you can see the mountain on the other side… if I had walked to it, through where the dam is, I could make it to the other side without making my feet wet once!!!… This is a much bigger problem than what people think it is!!!…
